PROSODY.

SCANNING.

Scanning is the dividing of a verse into the feet of which it is composed, and the assigning of their proper quantity to the constituent syllables in each foot.

A foot in poetry consists of two or more syllables, connected and arranged according to established rules, and forming part of a verse.

The principal feet in Latin poetry are the spondee ana the dactyle. A spondee consists of two long syllables; as, Sylvas: a dactyle consists of one long and two short syllables; as, temporă.

A verse is a certain number of connected feet, forming a fine of poetry.

The verses in the most general use in ancient poetry are the hexameter and the pentameter.

Verses are not measured in the ancient languages, as they are in our own, by the number of their syllables, but generally by the number of their feet, or the length of time required for their pronunciation: hence the versification of the Greeks and Romans admits of a much greater degree of variety and harmony, than the regular heroic measures in English poetry.

HEXAMETER.

A hexameter verse consists of six feet, of which the sixth is a spondee, the fifth a dactyle, and the preceding four either dactyles or spondees; as,
